Beneficiaries of the Youth Employment Agency (YEA) are facing untold hardships due to the non-payment of their allowances for 10 to 11 months. Despite their struggles, the agency, led by CEO Malik Basantali, continues to recruit new beneficiaries, raising concerns about the management of the program.
The YEA was established to provide employment opportunities for young Ghanaians, with the goal of reducing unemployment and poverty. However, the failure of the agency to pay beneficiaries their allowances has rendered the program ineffective, leaving many to struggle financially.
"It's been 11 months since I last received my allowance," said one beneficiary, who wished to remain anonymous. "I'm struggling to make ends meet, and it's affecting my ability to take care of my family."
Another beneficiary, who also requested anonymity, stated, "We're not asking for much, just our allowances so we can survive. But it seems like the CEO and his team don't care about our plight."
The continued recruitment of new beneficiaries despite the unpaid allowances has raised questions about the management of the program. "It's like they're just using us for their own gain," said a beneficiary. "They're recruiting new people, but what about us? Don't we deserve to be paid?"
The YEA's failure to pay beneficiaries their allowances has also led to concerns about corruption and mismanagement. "Where is the money going?" asked a concerned citizen. "Is it being embezzled or misused? The government needs to investigate this matter and hold those responsible accountable."
The beneficiaries are calling on the government to intervene and ensure that they receive their unpaid allowances. They are also demanding transparency and accountability from the YEA and its management.
As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is clear: the YEA beneficiaries are suffering, and it's time for the government to take action.
